Property Description

Here we can offer you an island of calm in the midst of modern life's hectic rythm, but still only 15 minutes car ride away from modern amusements (incl. Jumbo mall, Flamingo Spa, Finnkino movie theatre, bowling, nice restaurants, etc). In addition to the calming surroundings and the national museum board protected scenery, you can get acquinted with our lovely alpacas and endangered Finnish Jussila's chicken breed here at our estate. Next to our alpaca paddock lies an Early Medieval Period gravesite (approx. 1000 years old), where one can sit down for a bit and ponder the mysteries of ages. We offer our Lilla-Villa vacation home for rent. The villa was just constructed 2015, and offers the comforts of home. Lilla-Villa is a compact vacation home with a bathroom (with a shower and a washing machine), one bedroom with a double bed, a tiny separate childrens bedroom with a 170 cm long bed (which works also for a shorter adult), an open space kitchen and a living room with a very nice sofa bed that opens up as a double bed. The kitchen is fully stocked with appliances (dishwasher, microwave, coffee- and teamakers, toaster, baking supplies, a highchair, tableware for 5 people, etc). You can also reserve additional services such as the end cleaning (85e), bed linen rental and turn-down service for the first night (20e/person), towel rental (10e/person/2 towels) and a Welcome basket (65e). We also offer holiday packages such as Romantic Getaway, Bridal package and Family Fun that include all reservations premade for you so you can just enjoy. (For more information please email us at info@koiramaenkartano.fi) Even though Lilla-Villa is situated within the estate, it has it's very own yard, a small garden, a sundeck and a small outdoor bbq-grill. There is a large climbing frame/playcenter in front of the private yard which is at our guests disposal as well as all the outdoor toys. The estates parking area can accomodates a large number of vehicles. For a fee of 90 euros, we are able to rent out (to Lilla-Villa's residents only) a large unique timber sauna from late 1800's, which used to serve as a smoke sauna and still retains it's wonderful special aroma. This is a traditional sauna, and there are no showers. Hot water is heated in a separate water-tub, and the water for bathing is mixed in wash basins. For two hours the sauna is slowly heated with wood. The custom made iki-kiuas (sauna stove) with it's enormous 400 kg of stone give off the gentlest steam one has ever experienced. The sauna well accomodates 10 bathers. If you wish to use the sauna on the day of your arrival, be sure to let us know at least a day beforehand. There are great opportunities for outdoor activities such as hikes in the forrest, cross-coutry skiing by the lake Tuusulanjärvi, cycling, and very good spots nearby for picking wild berries and mushrooms when in season. Come visit our new Farm Store, where you can purchase quality alpaca wool clothing, fresh made quality sweets and enjoy a good cup of coffee. You are very welcome to visit with pets as well, as long as they are in good health and will not damage the property or cause distress the the farm animals. We are a family oriented estate. We keep the estate running with the help of 3 generations, who all live at the farm. In addition to us 2-legged creatures our family includes 3 really kind (though very loud) dogs which are accustomed to children and other animals. Discriptive of us is our slogan: "Friends are the family we meet along the way". We hope you can feel comfortable here and know that we treat our guests like family!   We also organize guided tours into the lives of our animals to groops and individuals for a fee. A tour normally includes introductions into the history of the species and a get-to-know session, an opportunity to walk with an alpaca and a at the end a cup of warm beverage and little something to much on.
